A gate control circuit includes: a transition time detection circuit configured to detect a transition time of a drain voltage of a switching transistor that is turned ON or OFF by a gate voltage corresponding to a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal; an error detection circuit configured to output an error voltage representing a difference between the transition time and a target transition time being predetermined; and a transition time control circuit configured to generate the second pulse signal on the basis of the error voltage and the first pulse signal corresponding to an input signal that instructs ON or OFF of the switching transistor.
